Fugitive Arrested in Camden Homicide – 8/24/15

Camden County Prosecutor Mary Eva Colalillo and Camden County Police Chief Scott Thomson announced a fugitive wanted for a Camden homicide has been apprehended.

Tyron “Pooh” Williams, 30, of Camden is charged with first-degree murder for the shooting death of 37-year-old Shawn W. Quann.

Quann, a Camden resident, was found fatally shot the morning of July 12 in the front passenger seat of a Nissan Maxima in the area of Newton Avenue and Trenton Avenue in Camden.

A warrant for Williams’ arrest was issued on Thursday.

Members of the U.S. Marshals Service Regional Fugitive Task Force subsequently tracked Williams to a residence on the 6100 block of Amon Avenue in Pennsauken. Task force members observed him enter the home around 5 p.m. on Saturday. He then exited the residence and fled on foot as authorities surrounded the property. He was apprehended after a brief foot chase and placed under arrest without incident.

Williams was remanded to the Camden County Jail. He is scheduled to be arraigned at 1:30 p.m. today before Superior Court Judge John T. Kelley in courtroom 42.

All persons charged with criminal offenses are presumed innocent until found guilty in a court of law.
